Chapter 163: The First Orc War Ends (Part II)
South Sea Town, Elven Legion.
The elf Winnesa and her men were in a special training session, and the hint from the ring made her stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong with the Commander?"
"Nothing to continue, be careful to control it, don't flip it."
Today's exercise is a swim in preparation for access to the Oakland Mountains, where the Tallenmere River is getting faster and faster, supplemented by snowmelt from the Oakland Mountains.
Temperatures are getting higher and winter is coming to an end.
What happened in the Coalition Legion in the winter, Wen Leisha seemed to think it was really miserable. Human life is so fragile that a single disease has taken the lives of many people, and some humans have died of illness before the age of twenty. As a High Elf, she couldn't understand why human life was so short, less than one-fiftieth of hers.
Her Ranger Mentor once said: If you have a friend with a very short lifespan, the sooner you forget it, the better, otherwise the deeper the bond, the more pain you will suffer.
Wen Leisa's sadness was only for a moment, and most elves regarded human life and death as a very ordinary thing, not as important as dinner without fruit.
The spider-like golems were roped together, and Winresa's captain slowly moved down the river. There is a spell to walk on water, but the elves don't.
Using arcane engineering, they equipped the arachnid golem with an inflatable bag that can be activated by arcane energy, and when activated, it resembles a lifebuoy around the golem's disc-like body. The golem's feet were also fitted with a webbed-like structure, and the Engineer added a swimming motion to the golem's autonomic system. Experimentally, Winresa's puppet was launched first.
The waves came, and the puppet swung and swayed.
"Be steady, don't flip," Winetha said. The golem had slipped to the center of the river, and the golem that was chained to the shore was not washed away. Her mission is to use the new swimming technique to cross to the opposite shore and act as a fulcrum to pull her puppets one by one.
"Don't worry, you can't turn it over, maybe you can make the puppet's foot stroke faster......"
"Stop"
Sure enough, the puppet swayed left and right, and Wen Leisha and the four subordinates who were riding with her capsized.
Swimming ashore, she swam ashore and wet She went back with a few of her subordinates first, leaving the engineer and the rest of her subordinates to salvage the puppets.
The female elf had her own officer's room, she took off her wet equipment and clothes, first went to take a hot bath, then chose what equipment to wear, and finally chose the set of her ranger training to travel to Laran, and the equipment also chose the exquisite magic equipment that she didn't usually use. However, after trying it on his body, he changed it out and put on the ranger uniform with the officer's logo that he usually wears.
Changing into her uniform, she walked out of the officers' quarters, where several heralds were running excitedly around the town.
"The war is over, the war is over."
"Victorious, victorious"
'How did you win?' Neither the alliance nor them attacked the mountains' Wen Leisha didn't understand what was going on, but as an officer, sooner or later she would know why.
"Commander Winresa?"
A chocobo rode and stopped in front of her.
"It's me."
"General Sylvanas ordered all officers above the rank of Ranger Captain to report to the command.
"I see."
——————————————————————————————————————
"He's coming back" Sylvanas' ears twitched up and down twice in Command, and divine empathy told her that Shane was coming soon. After being stunned, she continued to write the papers. In the command room, a military map was laid out on a large round table. The table shows the sequence of the Allied armies, as well as the offensive marching routes.
But a plan is always a plan.
The Grand Duke fell ill and died, which is really a sad story, the one who fought all the way and died on the eve of victory. Sylvanas didn't care at all about what the Alliance Legion had become after losing its leader, and it should be said that the vast majority of elves didn't care much. The war to aid humanity is generally advanced by Windranger and Dawnblade, with the King and the rest of the clan also participating. As the commander of the elven legion, she saw that the war was coming to an end, and how to reward the legion was the most important thing.
There is no such thing as gratuitous loyalty in this world, and a sense of spiritual belonging cannot replace the role of materiality.
I've been with him for so long, and this time I want him to make it up to me. ’
"Your Excellency, the envoy of the alliance has come to ask for an audience."
While thinking about personal matters, Sylvanas was called out to her lieutenant.
The adjutant was Lotherma Theron.
"Let them in"
Or Tulayang and Luo Ning are two acquaintances.
Tulayan looked as if he had been tortured during this time, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his beard was unshaven. Ronin was still dressed as a mage, but his staff had broken a section
"There must be something important, right? I can see you've just been on an adventure. ”
"General, I'm here to convey a statement from the Alliance Legion and all the kingdoms of Lordaeron."
Sylvanas made a gesture of please for him to continue.
"After deliberation among all the leaders of the Alliance, we have decided that this time the war with the Orcs has been won, and this is the letter of the Alliance."
Sylvanas stood up and took the credentials
'What's going on?' Sylvanas, as a general, was a little strange about the Alliance's sudden decision, but he was not surprised, what mattered was why the Alliance did so.
"The specific situation is explained by me and Luo Ning, two people who have experienced it firsthand."
Skipping the political statement, the Coalition briefed Quel'Salas on what it was.
During the cold winter, scouts deep into the Oakland Mountains found many orc corpses, which were spread far into the mountain road, and it is estimated that no less than 20,000 orcs died. After receiving the information, the alliance sent an elite team into the mountains and captured the prisoners. After being tortured by priests and mages, the orcs were 'cursed', their warriors suddenly became powerless and lazy, and several large clans lost their combat effectiveness. They migrate through the mountains in winter, and the number of deaths is several times higher than expected by waiting. The Alliance believes that the orcs have lost their ability to fight, so the war is over.
'There must be some other reason,' thought Sylvanas, and the elves among the humans must know something: 'It must have something to do with the winter plague. ’
Tulayang and Ronin didn't want to stay longer, so they left after the briefing. Sylvanas sent her Voyager and Legion Mage to inquire in every way.
"Let the officers above the rank of Ranger Captain come to the meeting," she ordered outside the door, and decided to inform the whole army first, so that the officers could stabilize the mentality of the army.
In terms of intelligence, she knew the information that she had not taken to heart in one night, several legions of the alliance had an epidemic, and a total of more than 10,000 people had died, but it was claimed that only 4,000 people had died of illness. Faced with low morale and a crippled establishment, the alliance did not want to fight.
'What a winless situation,' Sylvanas thought oddly.
A piece of history has come to an end, and Shane's story has just begun.
At the same time, far away in the kingdom of Quel'Thalas, at the top of Shane's mage tower, the arcane light was extinguished together, like a sky lighthouse.
The circle that has been built is almost complete, and the details can be done on the road.
"Headmaster......
"The Lord'......"
"Master ......"
Everyone was speaking to Shane in a different capacity. They understood the magic circle of joint spellcasting, and they knew that they were in the center without thinking about it, it must be their arcane master. What will be the spells that will be released by manipulating so many arcane powers?, all mages are looking forward to it. Even if this arcane could theoretically blow them up with them.
Shane nodded.
The navigator took the order, and the order turned into a cry that spread throughout the White Tower.
"The sky was clear and cloudless. The north wind is 20 degrees west, 12 meters per second, and the airspace is unobstructed. ”
Navigator: "Course 10 degrees west-south, first speed, start!!" ”
Command Officer: "Heading 10 degrees west-south, first speed, start!" ”
The chief on duty in the control room: "The course is 10 degrees west-south, the first speed, start!" ”
Commands are transmitted to the control room through the communication device in the mage tower.
Four Arcanists press the control crystal, carefully maneuvering through a circle that resembles a touchscreen light curtain.
The core is powered by the acceleration ring according to the instructions, and the white tower begins to move slowly.
"Second speed, acceleration"
"Second speed, acceleration"
"Second speed, acceleration."
Again, the order was given in layers.
Looking up from the ground, in the back of the blue sky, the shield of the white tower refracted the sunlight, pulling a long blue trail in the air.
